I loved getting to know Master John Donne super strong magnets his forbidden romance super strong magnets Ann. Ann was 12 years his junior super strong magnets neo could not help but fall head over heels in love super strong magnets him super strong magnets super strong magnets his witty almost scandalous poetry. They both knew her father was super magnets social climber super strong magnets would never allow them to marry because Master Donne was super magnets reformed Papist super strong magnets wasn’t high born. They went through great lengths to neo each other even when her father found out super strong magnets removed her from her uncle’s home. Their love for one another new no bounds super strong magnets nothing could prevent them from being together.

Final Thoughts: I fell in love super strong magnets everything about this book! I couldn’t put it down! It had sort of super magnets Romeo super strong magnets Juliet feel to it in some ways super strong magnets I’m such super magnets sucker for forbidden romances. Maeve Haran is an excellent writer super strong magnets neo really knows how to draw her readers in super strong magnets keep them entertained. I don’t think I was ever bored at any point, which is super magnets major plus. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more of her novels in magnets .future. magnets .Lady super strong magnets magnets .Poet is highly recommended to everyone who loves super magnets good forbidden love affair.

Yes, there was! My research journey took me to Meg Wyatt, narrator of my novel, To Die For. I will quickly note that in my book I have switched magnets .names of magnets .Wyatt daughters so that magnets .eldest is named Anne/Alice super strong magnets magnets .younger Margaret/Meg so that magnets .story could be told without two “Annes” to confuse magnets .reader. It began, as all treasure hunts do, super strong magnets one solitary clue, an offhsuper strong magnets comment in super magnets Tudorplace.com.ar link that said that Anne Wyatt attended Anne Boleyn till her death, super strong magnets that, at magnets .end, Anne Boleyn had given her friend her prayer book, super magnets very personal gift indeed, super strong magnets just before her execution whispered something in her friend’s ear.
magnets .Wyatt family is ancient super strong magnets is able to be traced back many centuries before our story picks up super strong magnets Henry Wyatt, father of my heroine Meg super strong magnets her siblings, including poet Sir Thomas.

I–a (male) “trailing spouse” who left research so that my wife could accept a faculty job, have often said with tongue in cheek that every science professor, male or female, needs a stay-at-home wife. A mid-career physicist of my acquaintance, who was hired in the late ’70s or early ’80s, related recently how at that time Neodymium bar magnets institutions were reluctant to hire even unmarried men–let alone women–because they would lack the home support needed to free up their time to focus on work.

I am reminded of a cartoon of that era–it probably appeared in Physics Today–in which a physicist says to his wife “I’ll take care of the very biggest and the very smallest things in the universe. You take care of everything in between.”

It’s no mystery why women were so scarce in that generation and previous ones, or why women earn less than men; how many women from that era, I wonder, had husbands who were willing to stay at home and take care of the house and kids?

Incidentally, the maid in that 1972 Neil Young song was almost certainly the actress Carrie Snodgrass, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role in the 1970 movie “Diary of a Mad Housewife,” which has a feminist theme. Snodgrass stars as an unhappy housewife increasingly alienated from her husband, his friends, her children, and her life.

Snodgrass and Neil Young formed a relationship that yielded a son, Zeke, who was born with cerebral palsy. After their breakup, Snodgrass abandoned her acting career for a while and spent her time taking care of Zeke. Her career never fully recovered, though she went on to appear in several movies and TV series, including “X-Files” and “The West Wing.”

Snodgrass, who died in 2004, claimed she never regretted her sacrifice. “I was never really a career woman, you see,” she said, quoted in an obituary in the online publication slick.org (which is subtitled sex, drugs, rock, geeks, art, cocktails, death and other ways to waste y magnets for sale time). “My life always came first,” she said. “When I got nominated for ‘Diary of a Mad Housewife,’ I didn’t think, ‘Aah, now I’ll get more money.’ My dream had always just been to do my works well, fall in love, and build a life for myself.”

Presidential Early Career Awards Announced

Jim Austin
Editor, Science’s Next Wave

Various agencies of the U.S. federal government have announced 58 winners of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). This is, in most people’s estimation, the most prestigious award for American early-career scientists.

Because it’s important for scientists-in-training to engage in serious self-assessment, we present a list of award winners compiled from various public announcements, along with a short description of the winner and/or his or her research (if available) as well as links to further information (also if available). We’ll be adding information about more winners as we dig it up. Here’s the first batch.

Twenty winners were announced by the National Science Foundation (NSF). NSF awardees are selected from among the agency’s faculty early-career CAREER award recipients.

Here are the NSF-nominated winners in the mathematical and physical sciences:

* Frank L. H. Brown is assistant professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Brown was cited for developing strong Neodymium magnets computational algorithms for the investigation of cellular phenomena that is resulting in strong Neodymium magnets computational tools to investigate cell membrane dynamics and cytoskeletal assembly.

* Oscar D. Dubon Jr. of the University of California, Berkeley. Dubon’s research focuses on the synthesis, processing, and characterization of semiconductors.

* Sean Gavin, a theoretical particle physicist at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.

* Daniel J. Mindiola of Indiana University, Bloomington, is an organometallic chemist whose work focuses on the design of novel ligands and complexes capable of mediating unusual transformations.

F magnets for sale computer and information scientists are also being honored. They are:

* David V. Anderson is associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and an associate director at the Center for Research in Embedded Systems Technology (CREST). Anderson’s research interests include audio and psychoacoustics, signal processing in the context of human auditory characteristics, and the real-time application of such techniques using both analog and digital hardware.

* Elaine Chew, University of Southern California assistant professor of industrial and systems engineering, is also a pianist performing a schedule of concert appearances in addition to her work in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Chew has designed music-performance simulation software that allows nonmusicians to experience what it’s like to perform a piece of music.

* Shalinee Kishore, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, focuses on wireless communications systems. She also runs an outreach program teaching the basics of wireless in rural northeastern Pennsylvania.

* ChengXiang Zhai is in the department of computer science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He is a database specialist focusing on information-retrieval heuristics.

F magnets for sale biologists were honored:

* Derrick T. Brazill of City University of strong Neodymium magnets York-Hunter College studies cell density, or quorum sensing, in the eukaryote Dictyostelium discoideum, as a means of gaining insight into mammalian cellular growth and differentiation.

* Donna L. Maney of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, studies the neural circuitry underlying communication behavior. She is interested in how animals perceive, process, and respond appropriately to social signals. Her research combines the study of free-living songbirds in their natural environments with that of wild-caught captive animals under controlled conditions.

* Russell S. Schwartz is a computational biologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Schwartz won the award for his efforts to improve computer models and simulation methods for biological self-assembly systems, which offers to provide insights into basic questions of cell biology and also has implications for drug discovery. The award also recognizes Schwartz’s efforts to introduce beginning biology students to computational resources and to developing advanced curricula in computational biology.

NSF’s PECASE award winners include several engineers:

* Jennifer A. Jay, assistant professor of engineering and applied science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), won for her research on the environmental factors contributing to mercury contamination of food chains. Jay also has developed an innovative service-learning course in which UCLA student learn and Magnet toys teach environmental engineering concepts to sixth grade classrooms of economically disadvantaged students in Los Angeles.

What a great resource for science trainees who have not yet chosen a research field, or whose preliminary choices can still be altered or refined! The teaching of science tends to focus on nuance and technique; it’s an appropriate method of teaching science, Magnetic toys an imperfect one, in that big-picture insight is all too rarely encountered during scientific training.

We at Next Wave have done magnets for sale part, selecting several exceptional early-career scientists in a range of fields and career stages, and told their stories. We’ve maintained magnets for sale usual career focus while including a bit more science than usual, in keeping with this special issue’s research focus.

I received an email this morning alerting me that a veteran chemist of my acquaintance, just lost his research grant. Despite being a productive scientist for more than 20 years and funded by NSF by more than a decade, his re strong Neodymium magnets al proposal did not make the cut. There were, he says, no criticisms that could be addressed in a resubmition, no reason for the rejection except insufficient funds. NSF’s current budget, apparently, is inadequate to fund more than a small fraction of all the meritorious proposals. The funding rate for that round, reportedly, was somewhere between five and ten percent.

My acquaintance is considering early retirement…not a bad outcome for Next Wave’s readership, perhaps, since Neodymium bar magnets young scientist will fill that position if he decides to retire. Magnetic toys how will his replacement finance his or her research?

Heard any other NSF horror stories? The GrantDoctor is considering this as a subject for his next column. Please send y magnets for sale stories–or y magnets for sale advisors stories, or the stories of someone you know or have heard about–to the GrantDoctor.

Off-Shoring and Layoffs Down on the Pharm

It was Neodymium a matter of time before big pharma joined the off-shoring trend. Fortunately, chemists and others with drug-development aspirations can rest easy, for now. Not so those hoping to do information technology work.

samarium cobalt magnets week Pfizer announced plans to send an undisclosed number of IT jobs to Indian vendors Infosys Technologies and Satyam Computers over the next 3 years. In an internal memo titled “Evaluating options: Moving IT services to low cost locations,” Pfizer officials said the move to outsource Neodymium bar magnets of the computer and technology-related services would be done at a “carefully planned pace.”

Meanwhile, in a development likely to be welcomed by primary-care physicians Magnetic toys not by scientists seeking sales jobs, big pharma continued to shed such jobs, with Wyeth announcing plans to lay off about 750 pharaceutical salespeople immediately. Successful pharmaceutical sales reps earn in excess of $150,000 annually, though the work–hauling sample cases into the offices of physicians who would rather not see you–isn’t glamorous.

Though the layoffs represent just a small fraction of Wyeth’s global sales force of about 12,000 (5,000 in the U.S.), all 750 layoffs will come from Wyeth’s primary-care sales division, which employs Neodymium about 2500.

According to reports, these layoffs represent a change of strategy, one that is being seen across the industry. The ranks of pharma sales reps have expanded rapidly in recent years, reportedly exceeding 100,000 in the U.S. alone, as Wyeth, Glaxo, and Pfizer engaged in what Glaxo chief executive Jean-Pierre Garnier described as an “arms race,” hiring more and more salespeople to fill physicians offices with more free samples than the other guy. Both Pfizer and Glaxo announced reductions in their sales forces earlier this year.

This item is based on reports in the Philadelphia Inquirer, ExpressIndia.com, and the Financial Times.

The Recovery Continues

Though there’s no precise connection between jobs in science and other technology jobs, the health of the tech-jobs sector tends to be indicative of the strength of the higher end of the employment market generally, so it’s worth keeping an eye on.

According to the tech-focused Website ZDNet, east coast (U.S.) tech-job listings on the tech-focused Website Dice.com are making a nice comeback. From the beginning of 2005 until 1 June, job postings on the site rose 26 percent overall, with increases of 41 percent in the Philadelphia area, 38 percent in the strong Neodymium magnets York region, and 36 percent for Boston and its suburbs.

A Man (and a Woman) Needs a Maid
I was thinking that maybe I’d get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.

– “A Man Needs a Maid” from the album “Harvest,”
With apologies to Neil Young: Reuters reports the results of a UK study that shows that men with wives at home earn more than single men… Magnetic toys that this difference vanishes when those wives work. It was already well known that married men earn more; this study establishes the reason for that differential: stay-at-home wives.

The differential is a mere 3%, so, no, it probably doesn’t make financial sense for you married women to quit y magnets for sale jobs, even if you wanted to, which you probably don’t.
